| description | Skull base osteomyelitis (SBO) is a complex and fatal clinical entity caused by infections in the structures surrounding the skull base. It is mainly seen in immune compromised individuals. We report one such rare case of an atypical skull base osteomyelitis in a young, immune-competent female child of 12 years of age, who presented in the ER with misleading symptoms of stroke and was diagnosed incidentally to have SBO on imaging. Adding to the uniqueness of the case is the causative organism, which was identified as Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, an unusual cause of SBO. |
